SETTING PLANTS Clip the roots if 
they can‘t be planted without doub- 
ling. The plant should be set with 
the crown about even with the soil 
after it has been throughly firmed 
around the plant. 
TYPE OF SOIL Select a plot springy 
in nature but well drained and free 
of vegetation. Moisture is essen- 
tial. The land which you contem- 
plate settin to Strawberries 
should be kept Fee from vegetation 
during the previous year. If the 
land has been fvincsidleaploe late 
in summer before the weeds and 
rass develo seed to mature. 
eavy proper Coy Peas, Soy Beans, 
etc., if plowed under in late sum- 
mer while green increases the humus 
and fertility of the soil, making 
it loose an porous; therefore, 
more retentive of moisture. 
Prepare soil same as for truck or 
parcen crops. Lay out rows, usual- 
3% to 4 feet apart; set plants 
about 15 to 18 inches apart in the 
rows. Do not usecommercial fertil- 
izer at the roots. If soil is fer- 
tile we do not recommend using any 
yn of fertilizer at the roots. 
I soil is fertile we do not re- 
commend using any type of fertil- 
1zer when planting. After the plants 
have been set in the row, a light 
application of fertilizer may be 
applied around the plant and worked 
into the soil cs a hoe. Do not 
allow the fertilizer to fall on 
the leaves of the plant. During the 
growing season additional applica- 
tions of fertilizer may be applied 
‘jets soil is not reasonably fer- 
ile. 
MULCHING After the first freeze dur- 
ing fall months, wheat orrye straw 
may be applied over the rows of 
plants forwinter protection. Early 
in ches pes Des before growth starts, 
it should be removed from the bed of 
plants and placed between the rows 
ee retain moisture andkeep berries 
clean.
